This week I found the most beautiful yarn, in rich autumn colours, just waiting to be used for collage, weaving, embroidery, or whatever!

I decided I'd spend a few minutes winding it from a skein into a ball, so it's ready to use. Wow, what a mistake - 3 days of unravelling later and it looks like this! How anyone knits with this is beyond me - it's a mass of knots and so far I have six tiny balls of yarn and I'm about half way through it. Very soon I can see the rest falling 'accidentally' into the bin!

I met up with Lunch Lady Jan and Julia for a coffee last week and it was lovely. We laughed and chatted our way through the morning and Jan gave me this beautiful bag - I'm so thrilled with it and adore Jan's beautiful taste in fabrics and exquisite workmanship. A HUGE thank you Jan!

I'm linking up with What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday this week, and that's what's on mine - about 6" of knitting that's taken me two months to do so far - I have a horrible feeling this will still be in the knitting bag in years to come!
